I'm in the process of mounting a set of HM-221 clutivators I found on a Farmall M restoration project and have hit a snag with the original Farmall hydraulic cylinders that came with the cultivators. Without having tried them first, I brought them to a local hydraulic shop to get them checked-out, overhauled if necessary and replace the hoses as they had been patched with electrical tape and were looking their age.
Well, a day later I get a call from the shop, they tore into the cylinders without testing them (breaking all the seals) and wanted over $1,000 to machine new pistons from scratch and replace the seals and hoses. After I stopped laughing, I told them to cease work and that I would explore other options on my own.
So, can anybody tell me if parts/kits exist for these original cylinders, should I be looking at ebay, or is there a suitable newer tie-rod type of cylinder that goes well with HM-221 cultivators. I think they're 2.5" bore by 8" stroke with a ram that sticks out around 18" with no end (fits inside a shroud that's connected to the cultivators).
